Bowl Ninety-One
The story of Bowl Ninety-One began long before its opening on College Avenue. Yee Lee, a local entrepreneur who has lived in the Fox Cities for many years, dreamed of an original restaurant that would amp up the city’s fine cuisine. Yee was only four years old when she and her family arrived in the United States in 1991 as refugees. As one of six children in a large family, Yee quickly became her mother’s assistant chef. Working hard to ensure that food was always on the table, Yee’s mother passed on a rich knowledge of traditions, spices, and recipes now infused into each of Bowl Ninety-One’s entrees.
Bowl Ninety-One is named in honor of 1991, the year Yee’s family arrived in the United States. Years of opportunity, hard work, and commitment to a dream have since manifested into a small but lively restaurant on College Avenue. Here, in a bowl, they invite you to taste that dream.
Bowl Ninety-One features dishes that combine a variety of ingredients and flavors from Asia. They offer a selection of entrees, including ramen, pho, and some of their innovative signature dishes.
The restaurant caters to health-conscious diners by providing several options:
Vegan and Vegetarian Choices: Dishes like the Vegan Spicy Miso Ramen and Garden Ramen are prepared with vegetable broth and tofu, ensuring flavorful plant-based meals.
Gluten-Free Selections: Certain menu items are marked as gluten-free, accommodating guests with specific dietary needs.
Fresh Ingredients: Appetizers such as Edamame are made with boiled soybeans and sea salt, offering a nutritious start to your meal.
By focusing on fresh, wholesome ingredients and offering customizable options, they ensure that guests seeking healthier dining experiences can enjoy a satisfying meal.
Kimberly and Erin started with edamame pods for an appetizer. Their meals included the Sweet Chili Chicken & the Veggie Surprise with chicken added.
